Yesterday Telerisa HD Showed one of the Best Episode of Fuego En La Sangre in Stretch-o-Vision, with the HD Logo. They showed Las Tontas No Van Al Cielo in HD. What did the guy from Juarez forget to turn on the HD, or did the Guy who sends the signal to Juarez forget to turn on the HD.

i have a question. is there any free to air HD channels from mexico on any satellite?

Negative, only Over the Air and I think the mayor 3 cities cable providers, satellite, I think, is planned until 2010 for the World Cup (at best).

Remember we only have ONE sat provider, they do what they please and charge way to much for too little..

Man this past Sunday was a nightmare to watch the Mexico-Belize match, both Televisa and TvAzteca had AWFUL picture quality, not even reaching SD, it was like watching a youtube video full screen, maybe 320x240 res. stretch to 1080i? real eye sore, you only saw like lots of pixels running around instead of a soccer match..

The match was in Houston I don't think they lacked resources to give us a decent image, We'll see when they air it from Monterrey..

thanks for the reply! i remember one time i went to mexico and i saw directv over there. what happened with that? i havent seen it over there anymore.

SKY bought them or broke them I don't remember (SKY is from televisa but it has it's own corporation name "Novavision", I also recall that Directv had the problem with piracy with cloned cards that also didn't help the business, beats me why they didn't follow the Directv from USA anti-piracy efforts that stopped piracy a few years ago..

I saw this commercial on Thursday, and had to record it. It Seemed to me that it may have had a hidden message in it.

I also See the Sky commercials quite often. The guy in the commercial always says "SKY Biene on todo" (Sky comes with everything) I think they should put small print when he says that in the bottom that says "menos Alta Definición"(Except HD)

You know, people can be easily brainwashed, for example when I installed the HDTVs at work, people are amazed of "how well they display images", when they are looking at the Euro 2008 matches, that are on SoV SD they think it's HD since it says "7-HD" on the side, HR is not letting us change to channels with HD because, according to them, the people don't like that stuff, they are usually documentaries and stuff in english, which many people won't understand here.. specially operators sitting in the cafeteria doing nothing all day but watch TV.. LOL.

Tonight Telerisa Turned on the HD Logo at around 2 in the Morning, and turned it off at about 3:30 in the Morning. Also when they turn on the HD Logo overnight, they turn off the SD subchannel, like their not getting any video for the digital channel. Could it be that Mexico city is requiring that the show more hours of the HD Logo. Could it be that in May they Required Juarez show 7 Hours of the HD Logo per day. This is the exact amount of HD shows that they air in Mexico city. Primero Noticias is 3 hours of HD, then the news with Lolita Ayala is 30 minutes of HD, Las Tontas no van al Cielo is an Hour of HD, Fuego en La Sangre is an hour of HD, Alma De Hierro is 30 minutes of HD, and the News With Joaquin Lopez Doriga is another hour of HD. So all together that makes 7 hours of HD.

Interesting, what would be the allotment for the weekends? 2 hours maybe? what a soccer match lasts? what about their weekend only shows? I see they are ony SD like the mexican version of The Biggest Loser..

Anyone here got the mexicali channels, i got azteca 7 and azteca 13. On azteca 7 all days is hd and on azteca 13 only some programs. But what about the telecisa channels 14-1 there is the HDTV logo all days, but had not seem any hd yet, not noticieros not even the novela fuego en la sangre.

Are you saying that they just put the letters HDTV under the logo, they used to do that over here a long time ago.

Yes, on tv azteca one channels all day is hd, and the other one some programs are on hd and others are upscaled but are 4:3 but on televisa channel 14-1, there is the hdtv logo on the upper corner, but as far as i can see that's not hd i can see the difference. Is only scaled and streched 4:3.

Last Night TeleRisa HD Juarez Turned on the HD signal at about 12:30 AM and Turned it off at about 3:30 AM. It Was like Telerisa Mexico wasn't sending them any video or audio for the digital Channel. There was a black screen with no audio for about a couple of minutes, and then they turned on the HD signal. Like I've said before they should do something like this for the HD shows Like the News and Alma De Hierro. How about this Telerisa Mexico don't send any video or audio from 9 PM To 10:20 PM or whenever Televisa Deportes starts. Also how about not Sending any video or audio whenever there is an HD Game.

I've just bought a powerful antenna for my LCD Screen BUT I have a problem. I always watch TV Azteca's "Venga La Alegria" and "Poker de Reinas" in the morning and it seems to be HD but the thing is that I get a lot of Macroblocks when there are fast-motion scenes, thing that happens also in Televisa's novelas. It also happens in the Azteca 7 Digital Channel when there are movies or documentals.

I live in Mexico City (or Distrito Federal) and I don't know what to do, if it is a problem from the providers or maybe my antenna is in the wrong direction, maybe I shouldn't worry that much but I can't help but think that I'm doing something wrong with my connections. PLEASE HELP ME!!!.

Macroblocking doesn't have anything to do with the antenna, it has to do with the compression of the Channel. If there's too much compression there's Macroblocking. If you download TSReaderlite you can see how much the channels are compressing the signal.

Stupidity, TVOlmeca is using a really low bitrate, only 11.980 Mbs/s, for 1080i you need at least 17.500 Mbs/s for good quality and sometimes even more, ATSC is limited to 19.38 Mb/s.

on Tuesday Telerisa HD Juarez turned on the HD signal at about 7:08 PM. They showed about 8 minutes of Las Tontas no van al Cielo in SOV. I'd be even more mad if the novela hadn't started to suck lately. they turn it off like 2 minutes into Alma de Hierro and there was a frozen image until about 9:17 PM. Then that night at about 2:19 AM they lost the signal and it didn't come back until about 3 AM. I wonder if they were fixing the equipment at that time.

Well that sucks I guess that could be the Reason why TV Azteca Juarez lowered their BitRate. Do you know the BitRate for the Televisa Channels.

I wonder if this is true, or if he just said that so you would stop complaining. Also I though it was 7 hours of HD, Could it be that the New Novela Cuidado con el Angel(Careful with the Angel) is in HD, or if the New Novela "Juro Que Te Amo" that start on July 28 at 7 PM Mexico time is going to be in HD. Also could he have said 8 Hours of HD, Because their going to start showing the HD Episode of la Familia Peluche Soon.

Tijuana 22 (57.1) XHUAA-HD Canal 2 Televisa Canal De Las Estrellas HD
Finally got HD back after being SD pillar box since Apr 18, 2008. Not sure what they were doing for over two months. Equipment problems?

Well that sucks, the longest Televisa HD Juarez has been broken is 3 weeks.

Hopefully they'll notice that Alma de Hierro is in HD and leave it on.
